Galvanized Wire Mesh Retaining Wall Using Gabion Baskets 2.7mm River Protection

Galvanized Wire Mesh 2.7mm Gabion Basket River Protection Retaining Wall Design

Introduction of Gabion basket:

Gabion basket is woven from low-carbon steel wire treated with anti-corrosion technology. The mesh is shaped like a hexagon. The cage has a spacer per meter and is divided into independent units.

Gabion basket is an ecological grid structure. The stone cage net is mechanically woven from low-carbon steel wire with high corrosion resistance, high strength and ductility or PVC-coated steel wire. The box-shaped structure made by the net is the stone cage. The diameter of the low carbon steel wire used varies according to engineering design requirements. Generally between 2.0-4.0mm, the tensile strength of the steel wire is not less than 38kg/m2, and the metal coating weight is generally higher than 245g/m2. The diameter of the edge wire of the gabion mesh is generally larger than the diameter of the wire. The length of the twisted part of the double wire shall not be less than 50mm. To ensure that the metal coating and PVC coating of the twisted part of the steel wire are not damaged.

Application of gabion baskets:

Retaining wall

Control and guide of water or flood

Flood bank or guiding bank

Preventing of rock breaking

Water and soil protection

Bridge protection

Strengthening structure of soil

Protection engineering of seaside area

●Control and guide rivers and floods

The most serious disaster of rivers is the destruction of river banks by water, which caused flooding, resulting in massive losses of lives and properties and massive soil erosion. The application of the ecological gabion net structure can permanently protect the river bed and bank.

●Channel canal bed

The construction of the channel involves the stability of the slope and river bed. It can effectively and permanently protect the river bank or riverbed, control the flow of water, prevent water loss, and has excellent effects in environmental protection and water quality maintenance.

●Slope protection

The application of ecological grid structure to river bank protection and slope toe protection is a very successful example. It gives full play to the advantages of ecological grid and achieves the ideal effect that other methods cannot achieve.

Characteristics of gabion basket:

(1) Economic. Just fill the stone into the gabion and seal it.

(2) Simple installation. No special technology needed.

(3) Weather proof under natural destroy, corrosion resistant.

(4) No collapse even under big scope of deforming.

(5) Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.

(6) Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatics.

(7) Less transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and further installation.
